Women: People are using “cis” as a slur, using it to threaten us, we consider it is a slur. Transgender poster: “Cis is not a slur.” Proceeds to call women who have said they consider it a slur “cis.” If that isn’t profound entitlement, I don’t know what is. And for what it’s worth, I agree with you about Mace. She is being unprofessional and rude. But you are also being rude, and extremely entitled. |
That was me stating my opinion. ![]() |
By your logic, Mace is also just stating her opinion. ![]() |
I haven't called anyone here cis. I haven't been rude or called anyone names. In my personal experience (personal!!! not saying you need to feel this way too!!!) I have never seen anyone threaten someone by calling them cis, or use cis in a demeaning way, or make fun of someone for being "cis". If you have personal experiences of this happening, feel free to share. |
Straight white cis woman. It is not a slur. Your feelings are not reality, pp. Sorry if that disrupts your view of your mind as the arbiter of objective reality. |
I’ve seen cis used in very derogatory ways to exclude and harm kids. It is absolutely used as a slur, especially among teens. |
There are always pick-mes and handmaidens, yes. We know. |
Do you think slurs are defined as “something you’ve personally witnessed being used”? |
You are entitled too if you think you’re the person who defines what is acceptable to find offensive and what isn’t. Yours is an opinion; no more or less than anyone else’s. |
Some mentally fragile broads on the right, huh? It’s like all that religious indoctrination just melted their brains. Those are slurs, PP. Although factual… |
It’s rude to say cis is not a slur when many of us have said we consider it to be a slur. It’s an invalidation of the feelings of others. |
Anti religious bigotry is a bad look, PP, especially when people haven’t been using religion as their arguments for why a term is considered offensive. You seem to have a real hang up on this. |
You literally wrote “You are not oppressed for being cis.” That is objectively calling people here who have said they consider “cis” a slur by that slur. And that is calling names. When you address someone by a term they have said is a slur, that is calling them names. I will never use the t-word because some (not all) transgender people consider it a slur. I consider cis a slur. And it is often used as one. Many, many women feel the way I do. If you choose to keep using it, you are no better than Mace. |
I voted for Harris and consider cis to be a slur, and I am an atheist. It’s always so shocking how quickly the vicious misogyny pours out of trans activists when they encounter an opinion from a woman they don’t like. |
“ Just to clear things up: cis is not a slur” You are stating this as fact, but that is your opinion. Stop telling me that my opinion and the feelings around it are invalid. |
